History

Efforts to protect the African bush elephant continue, as these majestic creatures face ongoing threats. Though some populations have stabilized due to anti-poaching initiatives and habitat conservation, elephants remain vulnerable to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change. Sustained international support and innovative conservation strategies are crucial to their survival.
